Hillary Clinton at Kay Hearing says 1441 might have worked "without the loss of life"

US Senate Hearings | 1-28-04 | Hillary Clinton, David Kay

[cwb]

I'm watching it right now, and the "uhs" are annoying as hell. You'd think with all her time in public life, she would've learned how to speak by now.

[BluH2o]

I've sucked more than few in my time, but give me a break ... this is a bit of a stretch.

[Ron in Acreage]

Kay was too polite to Hillary. He should have mentioned that her concerns about having enough resources was due to her husbands gutting of the intelligence depts. Also when Bubba pulled out the inspectors, that left an opening for Saddam to hide his WMDs or transport them to a neighboring country. He had 8yrs under Bubba to do just that.

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore were in an airplane that crashed.

They're up in heaven, and God's sitting on the great white throne.

God addresses Al first. "Al, what do you believe in?"

Al replies, "Well, I believe I won that election, but that it was your will that I did not serve. And I've come to understand that now."

God thinks for a second and says "Okay, very good. Come and sit at my left."

God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"

Bill replies, "I believe in forgiveness. I've sinned, but I've never held a grudge against my fellow man, and I hope no grudges are held against me."

God thinks for a second and says "You are forgiven, my son. Come and sit at my right."

God then address Hillary.
"Hillary, what do you believe in?"

Hillary replies "I believe you're in my chair."

[Howlin]

You are so right. I would have paid good money to see that.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Their flippant answer is, "So why aren't we invading North Korea or Iran or Zimbabwe?" Then they proceed with their theory that it's all about Halliburton and oil.

[Political Junkie Too]

It sounds like when Nancy Pelosi said that Democrats could have brought down Saddam's statue a lot cheaper than Bush.

[mabelkitty]

Um, she voted to go to war.
No sense in rewriting history now, Hil.
You lost the DNC months ago....

[Hon]

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

I actually think it backfired on her, Kay made her look bad.

[RaceBannon]

it is on CSPAN right now, 1 hour into it, check cspan.org for the 2nd replay time

[Budge]

"Might," "May," "Possibly," how to spread fear.

[Darlin']

She is evil. I wonder what it will take for libs to wake up and be free of her power over them ?????

[HRoarke]

You're right. He refused to be made a mouthpiece for those idiots on the committee. He did just as well with Ted Kennedy, telling him that it was easy after the fact to pick and choose details to make it look like you were right all along...awesome. I wish he'd gone one step further and lectured them on being so stupid and naive, Ollie style.

[SoCalPol]

If her husband would have taken care of business we wouldn't be having this conversation. Bubba left one mess after another for President Bush to clean up. She has no shame.

[faithincowboys]

I was too young to see Ollie's testimony-- I hope C-Span replays it one of these days.

Kay handled them well, they looked absolutely devastated. Of course, he could have said so much more, but it's probably better that he didn't. He nuked them and kept his professionalism--what a great thing.

[cardinal4]

This woman IS a hate crime.

Just ask the FJB..

[Air Assault]

Wasn't resolution 1441 passed like 14 yrs ago?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

CLINTON: And of course, my time has expired, but I think that rightly does raise questions that we should be examining about whether or not the U.N. inspection process pursuant to 1441 might not also have worked without the loss of life that we have confronted both among our own young men and women, as well as Iraqis.

"If only we could have waited another 250 years I'm sure Iraq would have complied."
